Botero Museum in Bogota

Today we want to present another very good museum in the city center of Bogota – the Botero Museum – not just for art lovers. Fernando Botero was born in Medellin in the year 1932 and is famous for creating oversized depictions of people, animals and all kind of elements of the natural world. 

The „Museo Botero“ allows its visitors to admire one of the most important art collections in Latin America. After the artist Fernando Botero donated more than 200 various art pieces to the Bank of the Republic in 2000, paintings of Picasso, Monet and Chagall are exposed today. But the majority of the museum is used to display Boteros works of art, which could easily be detected because of the typical exaggerated proportions he sticked to.
